The Inevitable Obama Impeachment

It isn’t a secret that both W and Barry have committed atrocities, war crimes, crimes against humanity and gross breaches of international law and treaties. And it isn’t a secret that Barry has been using the power of the executive branch including the CIA to cover up and stonewall Congressional oversight, and that there has been a cancer growing on his presidency since January of 2009. Indeed, this morning even the AP noted that “a quarrel between the CIA and the Senate that’s been rumbling beneath the surface for years burst into full view Tuesday…” What’s also been pretty interesting is that every time someone has tried to bring this issue to public light, the Obama Kool Aid drinkers, replete with their talking points, rush out to blame every thing on the Koch Brothers and people who just hate Obama, and who are probably racist and homophobic anyway. Boy, we need to make Snowden’s birthday a national holiday.

What is interesting is the way that Senator Feinstein has finally come out swinging yesterday, but the timing isn’t really all that surprising. It was noted that every time something interesting was happening at the recent CPAC meeting, Obama would grab the microphone and start ranting about Putin and the Ukraine. And while the media was following those rants, the media wasn’t following that Rand Paul, the man who single-handedly tried to stop the confirmation of Brennan to direct the CIA, was gaining substantial traction with the charges that Brennan’s brief from Obama was to cover up and conceal the dirty laundry in true Nixon style. And Rand Paul is increasingly looking to be the Republican nominee in 2016.

So, is Diane Feinstein really worried about the powers of the Senate and the separation of powers, or is this a Democratic effort to get in front of a huge scandal that is about to break, to contain it, to direct the conversation as part of a carefully orchestrated Democratic political theater piece? I don’t think so. I like Senator Feinstein, I voted for her in 1992, and I’m the one who coined the campaign phrase “Send Feinstein to Washington-She knows how a circus works!” So I think she does care about the Senate and about attempts by Barry to thwart the Senate. And I do think that the American people care very much, which is why it seems that the Democrats want to be leading this issue, not defending Barry.

But the real question is: how far is she willing to go, and, now that the tiger has been unleashed, can it be contained? I would hope not. What Brennan and the CIA are alleged to have done goes far beyond anything that Nixon ever dreamed. And if Obama is walking us into a war with Russia over Ukraine to divert attention from his own crimes, he has a lot to answer to. Do we have any reason to doubt what the Senator has alleged? None. But who knew it and when, I’m sure will very soon be the question being addressed by the appropriate impeachment committee in Congress.
